1408: What The Hell Happened?!

Identity was great maybe it's just john cusack.

No, Identity owns 1408.

what are you talking about? I was saying that both films are really good maybe it's because john cusack stars in both.

Well I finally saw 1408.

First let me say Identity was a terrible, horrid cliche of a movie that ironically, Adaptation predicted before its inception.

However, 1408 is one of the best horror movies I have seen in years. It doesn't rely on gore, blood or many cheap scares (though they use the guy with the hammer twice, but it works). It is just a really good psychological story that while not incredibly scary, is creepy and gripping. As the story progressed I became more and more immeresed into this man's journey and when he loses his daughter AGAIN it is just so sad and well played with the radio ****ing with him.

Just a really good movie and I think Cusack gave one of his best performances as he essientially carries this movie on his shoulders the entire time and it works. However, I have to say my favorite bit was Samuel L. Jackson's deliciously build up/exposition scene where he and Cusack have great chemistry and build this give and take that works. I love the ending.

The director cut ending is better.

Nice to see you like 1408, but how could you say that you hate identity that movie was great.
